Chapter 614 Attacked
"I'm really fine."

Seeing that Father Meng wanted to say something, Xiao Xiao wisely changed the subject, "We should be able to catch the murderer today."

……

Xiao Xiao's sudden words interrupted Meng's father's thoughts, causing a look of astonishment on the face of this dignified middle-aged man.

"Can we catch the murderer today?"

"real?!"

Father Meng's pupils contracted violently, and it was obvious that he was very shaken.

……

"Nine times out of ten."

Xiao Xiao said with a faint smile, but there was a hint of firm confidence between his clear and elegant brows.

As long as the monster appears as usual tonight, it will not be able to escape no matter where it goes.

It was seven to one. If he still let the monster escape, he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

……

Father Meng looked straight into Xiao Xiao's eyes, as if trying to find out if there was any sign of lying.

Xiao Xiao remained calm and looked directly into Mr. Meng's inquiring and questioning gaze without avoiding or dodging.

……

After a long time, Father Meng withdrew his gaze.

Xiao Xiao's attitude gave him some expectations.

Perhaps, the murderer who has left them at a loss and helpless will really be caught tonight.

……

"Don't you need us to do anything?"

Father Meng asked again.

"unnecessary."

Xiao Xiao refused again.

Father Meng looked at Xiao Xiao deeply and said, "...Okay."

Let him see how the young man in front of him, Master Xiao, could catch the murderer who had been unable to be found even with so many police officers on their own?
……

The suburbs were silent.

In order not to cause panic among the public, the media has handled the murders in recent days in a vague manner.

But how could the suburban residents not know about the murder that happened right next to them?
Moreover, in order to make the residents in the suburbs more vigilant, the police have repeatedly reminded them.

Tell them not to go out at night during this period.

If you really have to go out for a reason, don't go alone, it's best to go out with a group of people.

Call the police immediately if anything goes wrong.

……

Suburban murders are nothing more than after-dinner talk for urban residents, but for suburban residents, they are the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. They will not have peace until the murderer is caught.

People have died for seven consecutive days. Those who didn't take it seriously at first and even hoped for a lucky break are now feeling panicked and no longer think that murder is far away from them.

Now, all suburban residents stay indoors as soon as it gets dark.

No one wants to risk their life wandering around outside.

This made the suburbs, which were already very quiet at night, even more desolate and gloomy.

……

"Hey, Liangzi, didn't they say there's a murderer roaming around the suburbs these days?"

The thin man tightened his coat. The pale moonlight was dim, making the surrounding fields look more and more eerie. His voice trembled a little, "Is it really okay for us to come out at this time?"

"How about we go back?"

……

The other man rolled his eyes upon hearing this, "Dog, you're such a wimp."

He was thin and had a pair of eyes that rolled around, looking quite mischievous.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Let's not talk about whether we are so unlucky or not. Besides, I have a weapon." Liangzi shook the brick in his hand, looking nonchalant. "If that murderer dares to show up, I will let him know why the flowers are so red."

……

The thin man didn't notice Liangzi's domineering words, but said angrily: "Don't call me dog!"

He was weak when he was a child, and the older generation thought that a humble name would make it easier to raise him, so they gave him this nickname.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he has been strongly averse to this name, and anyone who calls him by it gets annoyed.

Even the elders are no exception.

……

"How come the dog-"

Seeing that his companion was getting really angry, Liangzi couldn't help but curl his lips, "Okay, okay, A Fei, is that all right?"

……

Seeing the uneasiness between Ah Fei's eyebrows and the panic in his eyes, Liangzi couldn't help but raise his voice a little, "Besides, it was Fatty who asked us to go there."

"We finally caught Fatty's eye, and now it's time for us to show our talents. If we go back now, all our previous efforts will be wasted."

……

Ah Fei was convinced.

He is actually not a timid person.

He just didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy tonight.

He shook his head. Liangzi was right. If they went back now, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

They had finally gotten in touch with Fat Brother and were counting on him to help them succeed.

It will also let those who look down on them and say they are lazy all day long see that they can also achieve something.

……

"Let's go faster then."

Ah Fei shrank his shoulders and urged hastily, then as if he was afraid that his companions would despise him for being timid, he explained, "It's not good to keep Fatty waiting for too long."

"Yeah, we have to hurry."

Liangzi agreed with this and sped up his pace. "It was the old man who insisted on calling me back. There's nothing wrong."

Thinking of his father's old admonitions about him and his disappointment in him, Liangzi's face turned a little gloomy.

He was not good at studying. He managed to finish junior high school and simply did not go to high school. His family tried to persuade him in every way, but seeing that he was unmoved, they just let him go, thinking that he would never starve to death as the family had land. However, he was not the kind of person who could sit still and work.

He also has his own ideas and pursuits, but no one in his family agrees with his ideas.

Even though he pretended to be indifferent and smiling, he was actually feeling resentful and unwilling in his heart.

He was holding a grudge in his heart.

What a gangster, he will be a gangster in the future.

Thinking of the happy things, Liangzi couldn't help but reveal a silly smile on his face, his eyes full of longing for the future.

Suddenly, he felt a pulling force on the corner of his clothes. Liangzi turned around impatiently and said, "A Fei, what are you doing-"

His voice stopped abruptly because there was nothing behind him.

The deep darkness of the night swallowed up the scenery in the distance, casting a gloom on people's hearts and giving rise to a little fear.

"Liangzi?"

A familiar voice came from beside him.

Liangzi tilted his head and saw A Fei's puzzled face.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then felt a little embarrassed for his inexplicable fear a second ago.

"A Fei, why did you pull my clothes just now?"

Liangzi said this with some annoyance, which scared him so much that his heart skipped a beat.

"I do not have it."

Ah Fei felt a little aggrieved, "Liangzi, I didn't pull your clothes."

"Still saying no?"

Just now I clearly felt the force of my clothes being pulled!
